Features:

Waterproof, Shockproof and Freeze-resistant Design
Canon created the PowerShot D20 to be the tough, practical companion you'll
want to bring on all your outdoor adventures, making it possible to capture
truly impressive stills and video while doing what you love. Scuba dive, snorkel,
paddle surf and more: the camera is waterproof all the way to 33 feet. Performance
is fast and reliable in temperatures from 14° to 104°F, so it's safe
for everything from winter sports to summer hiking. Shockproof up to 5.0 feet,
the PowerShot D20 is also able to survive the accidental falls and bumps inherent
to mountaineering, biking, and other outdoor activities

Canon HS SYSTEM
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range
of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal
noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the
result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity
imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image Processor,
which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel
CMOS sensor in the PowerShot D20 incorporates advanced light reception technology
that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor provides a major boost
in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of 3200.
The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting, delivering
clear, blur-free images

Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for functionality and performance
since their groundbreaking introduction in 1999. With each successive generation,
DIGIC processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new features
to PowerShot digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor has ushered in a
new level of picture quality and accelerated processing, making possible features
such as high-speed continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer

Canon Full HD Video Advantage
In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the advanced CMOS sensor
and DIGIC 4 Image Processor in the PowerShot D20 makes it possible to shoot
crisp, clear high definition video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being
able to shoot spectacular 1080p Full HD that you can later watch on your HDTV
or download to your computer to share with family and friends. In addition
to being able to shoot Full HD 1080p video at 24* frames per second, the PowerShot
D20 can also shoot 720p HD video at 30** frames per second

*Actual frame rate is 23.976 fps

**Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps

Dedicated Movie Button, Wind filter feature and Optical Zoom for easy
video capture
It's never been easier to shoot videos with a PowerShot digital camera. The
PowerShot D20 has a dedicated movie button that lets you start and stop recording
instantly. There is no need to go through layers of menus or operate switches
or dials to switch to and from video recording mode. The camera is always
ready to shoot stills or video whenever you want. The PowerShot D20 also incorporates
an electronic wind filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or
distort the sound. And unlike less sophisticated point-and-shoot cameras,
the PowerShot D20 lets you use the full range of optical zoom when you're
shooting a video

HDTV playback via HDMI output and CEC
It's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the PowerShot D20.
Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV using an HDMI cable. And because
the PowerShot D20 supports HDMI-CEC technology, you'll be able to control
the playback of your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using the TV's
remote control. (CEC – Consumer Electronic Control – is part of
the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to communicate with
one another.)

iFrame
With the PowerShot D20, you can also shoot video in the Apple® iFrame
format, which is a computer-friendly standard that speeds up importing and
editing of videos. It keeps file sizes small, making it more convenient to
upload or e-mail high-quality videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support
in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to
perform time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions

Pure Color System LCD
Many LCD screens on the market today use a striped arrangement of dots that
works great for text and menus, but is not ideal for imagery. The PowerShot
D20's PureColor System LCD uses a delta arrangement of dots, which works better
for the organic nature of photos and videos, allowing you to review your images
with exceptional clarity with rich, true-to-life color. The PureColor System
LCD is also ultra-durable to withstand heavy use in all sorts of conditions.
Just as importantly, it offers clarity you won't find elsewhere. Outdoors
in sunlight, color is faithfully reproduced, while a high contrast ratio ensures
that you'll see exactly what you're shooting from any viewing angle. This
makes it easy to frame shots quickly in tight situations

Optical Image Stabilizer
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos
blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses
lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld
photography more practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult
shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at
the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For photos, it enables
shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations
than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake
and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is
an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic
image stabilizers

GPS Technology
The PowerShot D20 digital camera is equipped with Global Positioning System
(GPS)* technology. Now you can travel the world and let the camera automatically
record the locations** and local times of your stills and videos. The camera
can also use the GPS unit to automatically set the exact time. You can maximize
the usefulness of the GPS feature by using the special bundled Map Utility
software that makes it fun to share the memories of your world adventures.
In addition to displaying all your photos' locations on a world map, the camera's
GPS system can also track your route from photo to photo – a great way
to visualize each trip! You can also create and share custom maps and personal
mini-travel guides with friends and family members

Intelligent IS
The latest advance in Canon Optical Image Stabilization technology, Intelligent
IS analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for
the shooting situation. For stills, the system automatically selects among
Normal, Panning, Macro (Hybrid) and Tripod IS modes. When shooting video,
the system automatically selects among Dynamic, Powered, Macro and Tripod
IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting
the camera make the most effective IS settings to assure the steadiest possible
image

Normal
Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills

Panning
Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired
camera movement
